"Not a day goes by that I don't reflect fondly and tell stories from last summer in Beijing. It truly was an incredible experience that changed my live forever for the better.  I still keep in touch with my homestay family (mother and daughter) and talk to several of the students I met at the English school near Longze station (in particular Cherry, whom I talk to on Skype for hours at a time every weekend. I think our friendship is similar to Sam and Bob's).  Last summer made me realize that in the future, I want to study abroad in China during college, and after college I really want to work in China for at least a few years."

"Thank you for giving our son... a wonderful learning experience in China.  Please accept our small donation to your organization.  We will stay in touch.  Words alone cannot express our sincerest gratitude."

"My homestay family was very nice...  They have been great...  I couldn't have asked for a better family."
-Brian Cronin, CYW 2010

"I definitely like the people I met here, and how open and accepting they all were.  I feel like the program really was designed for the student.  I enjoyed it a lot... I gained a lot more confidence when speaking with Chinese people and using Chinese... Beforehand, I never really had a chance to communicate with real Chinese people... Coming to China helped me realize that I can do it!"
